Source Distributions

Prerequisites

Mineserver requires 4 external libraries: ncurses (pdcurses on windows), zlib, libevent and libnoise (possibly from https://github.com/qknight/libnoise). The method of obtaining these libraries may differ system to system, so consult your operating system's manual.

General

Installation is generally very simple and consists of just a few steps.
